Mammoet, the global heavy lifting and transport specialist, has been contracted by Khimji Ramdas Shipping (KRS) to safely deliver two pre-assembled onshore oil rigs and accessories from a fabrication facility in the UAE to a site in Nimr, Oman.
Manufactured in the UAE, these new generation fast moving rigs are a new addition to the current fleet of Oman’s largest drilling company - Abraj Energy Services SAOC.
Shipping of oversized and heavy cargo requires specific expertise, as infrastructure limitations create bottlenecks that demand alternative transport approaches. At 37.7m long and 10.7m high and up to 471t, the sheer size and weight of the pieces meant Mammoet had to compose an optimal route for the cargo by performing the necessary route studies and obtaining required permits.
